Best Western The Ship Hotel

Top City Hotel

Pros: Everything

Pros: Reception staff very helpful and friendly; room comfortable and very clean.

Cons: Restaurant service very poor indeed; and very disappointing given the customer service received on booking in.

Great Staff on a superb high street

Pros: The location was nice. I only had one day free and rather do "the usual" and cram into London City, I enjoyed an extended walk around the public paths, The Thames, the locks and the neighborhood. Very nice. The hotel was clean, quiet and comfortable with very attentive and helpful staff.

Cons: Although i enjoyed the quiet of the top floor, it was quite warm - even in early Autumn - and the windows barely let in any fresh air. A fan was in the room, but it just moved around the stale air and wasn't helpful in bringing in the fresh. And, the shower curtains did their job, but had the effect of migrating to the bather wrapping them as if they were a sausage in a Tessco meat counter. Perhaps some upgraded curtains with weights or magments. Both small elements in contrast to the enjoyment of my stay.
